I have got and fitted the gate made by Paul, I have done a good few miles with it for a thorough test ,,, not only (IMO) does it look so awesome it is also a perfect fit. I have been after one of these gates for a while now and read a bit about what other vx owners have said about finding them a bit of a fiddle to get into gear sometimes and the movement of the old leg on the console moving the gate and misaligning it. I can truthfully say I have not once had this problem with this gate and it looks so good. If you like the look of these gates you would be silly not to buy one!

Nice one! I'm glad to hear it's been a success. Thanks for your help on testing this for me. I could do with a bit more interest from a few more people just to get the numbers up, and then I'll get a batch made. Gate: 1.K5h4w 2.Drune 3. 4.

 

That's really positive news!! I'm still in.  Do I get 1st dibs on the one you had made as a test rig?  ;)

The prototype I made was sold to meetntwo so he could do the testing for me. If I get a few more names on the list I'll get these made ASAP.

Both items are £20 plus £1.50 p&p but the gates are not made yet. I'm waiting to get more interest. I have the surrounds here ready to post out.

Come on folks, nobody fancy a gate surround for the VX?  Don't want to have to settle for the surround.

I'm getting another quote from the laser cutters to see if they charge any more for a lower quantity. I want to get these made as I know there are people waiting
